# joygo vs 围棋天地

The clearest difference is rating: 围棋天地 at 5.0 against joygo's 4.5. 围棋天地 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). joygo's advantage is ratings volume (106 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. joygo sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and 围棋天地 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
